F5 Default Gateway Configuration Issues

I am new to F5 installation so apologize if these questions were asked earlier. I did read up few articles but am still stuck.

 

I am trying to configure F5 as a default gateway for some VMs but cant seem to get it to work.

 

F5 is on management subnet of 1.1.192.*

 

1.1.48.* is a VLAN on external interface with 1.1.48.1 being the route to corporate network and 1.1.48.4 being the external Self IP to which corporate network sends traffic meant for 1.1.194.* VLAN (see next line).

 

1.1.194.16 (VM-A) is a VM and it using 1.1.194.3 as a gateway and this 1.1.194.3 is configured as a Self IP on the Internal interface of the F5.

 

I am unable to ping the 1.1.194.3 from VM-A virtual server nor am I able to ssh to VM-A.

 

When I do tcpdump I see this error:

 

957801 ARP, Request who-has 1.1.194.3 tell 1.1.1.16, length 53 in slot1/tmm0 lis=

 

I set up the Forward Virtual IP as some articles have suggested as well. I have tried setting Source Address Translation to Auto Map and None and both did not work.

 

Any thoughts on what else I need to configure?
